We find ourselves in the midst of the usual and unusual Easter licensing hours fiasco. A set of laws that makes sense to no man, but by which we must abide. So to make things a wee bit easier here’s an easy reference guide to when you can and cannot buy drink.
Good Friday | Saturday | Easter Sunday | |||
ON-SALES | OFF-SALES | ON-SALES | OFF-SALES | ON-SALES | OFF-SALES |
5PM-11PM | 8AM-11PM 5PM-11PM* |

I compiled this list from the excellent column Easter is Easter. Christianity ruins it for everyone by Belfast Barman on Slugger O Toole I advise you to take a wee trip over there and read his excellent analysis of just how ludicrous this whole thing is.
